Chapter 239: King and Lady Ai Qi
The next day, Agilu's handwritten letter was delivered to Melovia. The moment she saw the messenger, Mei Yi was so frightened that she almost fell on her heels: "King and Queen Ai, what's the matter...... How are you? β
"I heard Elsa say it's not bad here, so I'm going to stay here with her for a while, can't I?" Although King Ai Qi has abdicated, he still has a majestic face.
"Yes, yes, it's too late to welcome! Ai Qilu is really, she didn't tell me in advance about such a major matter, and she didn't send you a guard? β
Queen Elsa said, "Meilu can be specially sent to us." We didn't want to make too much of a fuss, and no one else knew we were here except for a few people in the palace. β
Mei Yi was pleasantly surprised: "Is Mei Luke here too?" Where is she? β
Queen Elsa said: "She left us in the estate and left. β
Mei Yi was a little lost: "Why are you in such a hurry that you don't even say hello?" β
"I guess I didn't find Hervier and the World Tree, so I'm a little afraid to see you."
Mei Yi said, "Forget it, I have long given up my efforts to find Hervier and the World Tree. Behind those powers, there must be a huge price that no one knows. I'll go back and write a letter to her, I haven't seen the little girl in a long time. β
The queen gave Mei Yi a long look and said, "Let's talk about the fairy forest first, okay?" β
Mei Yi said: "You come all the way, let's rest for a while, eat a delicious breakfast, and then soak in the hot springs comfortably, and then come back, okay?" This matter is not in a hurry. β
The queen said, "I'm not so tired, call Qiluo and the others over and have a cup of tea together, okay?" β
Ten minutes later.
In the King's Garden on the banks of the Roselle River, Meiyi, Kira, Serena, Ryushi, and Zejin drank tea with the king and his wife. The maid brought a variety of delicate snacks.
The queen looked at Serena's bulging belly and said, "Nana, how long will it be before the baby is born?" β
Serena said, "I will probably be born in March next year." β
"Have you figured out the name?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"Meiyi is so smart, it should be easy to name the baby, right?"
Mei Yi said: "The worst thing I'm good at is coming up with names, and after thinking about several, I'm not very satisfied, and Nana is not satisfied." β
As soon as she heard this, Serena said hatefully, "Do you know what are the names he gave his children?" Rose Aotian, Rose Tyrant, Rose Bully, Rose Seal Heaven...... Hell I can agree! β
The people at the table burst into laughter.
When the old king Ai Qi saw that he was full of energy, he said: "Back then, I was good friends with Zezong and Liuxi, who talked about everything. When Akilu, you, and Ripple were born, we all asked Pope Carppeosu to prophesy. β
Zejin was surprised: "Grandpa also asked the Pope to prophesy for me?" β
Ai Qi said, "Hmm. When the Pope saw Agilu, he said that the child would become a great king of elves, and that her future achievements would not be inferior to that of the goddess Emilia. β
"When he saw Liulian, the Pope said that this child would become the great queen of the elf clan."
"When I met Zejin, the Pope said that this child would become a good face of a country."
Kira exclaimed, "At the very least, the prophecy about Aiqilu and Zejin has come true!" Pope Clepeossu is truly remarkable! β
Ze Jin hurriedly said: "Queen, don't say that, I really can't afford it now." β
King Ai Qi smiled, "Where's the morning?" Akiro is too early to speak. Later, when I saw how stubborn Agiro was, I repudiated the Pope's prophecy in my heart. When the goblin clan split, Liuxi cried bitterly, 'Okay, the goblin clan is divided, and all I left to my granddaughter is half of the fairy forest, how can she be great?' "You are the best, you have always been one of the few noble ladies in True Spirit City, and after you went to Sombra City, you also became a laughing stock, and you were removed from the patriarch because of Meiyi's affairs. β
Mei Yi listened silently, knowing that the king was going to start talking about Fengyu, his half-brother Ain.
Sure enough, the king said: "Meiyi, Ai Qilu has received your letter, she supports your idea, the elf clan should be reunited, as a first step, the two families need to be reconciled, and the countless broken elf families should be reunited." My father Azer was wrong in what he did, and the weak, divided, and closed fairy forest was a destabilizing factor in the kingdom, not a blessing. β
After a moment of silence, the king said, "All along, I have connived at my half-brother Ain to monopolize the trade in grain and medicinal herbs in the south, causing evil consequences. The two coups d'Γ©tat during my tenure have made me feel painful, but I am also responsible. Why were those lords able to incite a rebellion? Isn't it because the people of the South are being squeezed too hard? β
"To solve the split of the elf clan, it is necessary to solve the problem of Ain, and I'm sorry to leave this problem to you. The evil fruit sown by my woman's kindness at that time is to be enlarged today. His personal armament is comparable to that of a great lord. His castle was even stronger than the royal palace. Forget that, behind him is still standing my father Aize, although he is over seventy years old this year, his body and energy are still very good. You haven't seen him and don't know how terrible he is. Let's put it this way, he's everyone's nightmare. β
Mei Yi said: "I don't understand. Some people say that he wanted to help Ain ascend to the throne, and some people say that he did it to split the fairy clan, the purpose was just to create chaos on the issue of heirs, and he has always been the king. The most important proof is that he is not stupid enough to ignore the pressure of the main people, the elves. Now it seems that he is supporting his son with the fairy concubine. What exactly does he want to do? β
King Ai Qi said: "I have always been unable to figure it out, but after the abdication, I am far away from the center of power, and my mind has gradually become much clearer. I think he's just obsessed with power, and he likes the feeling of being able to play with other people. If it weren't for the encounter with Liuxi, there really would be no one to stop him. He doesn't love Ain, he doesn't love anyone, he loves only power. During his tenure, the relationship between the three clans took a sharp turn for the worse, and in addition to the Fairy Forest, a power struggle broke out between your father-in-law, Lord Qiling, and his brother. β
Mei Yi had a headache and said, "Hearing you say this, I'm really a little timid. β
Queen Mother Elsa smiled: "There is no need to be timid, caution is a must." The good news is that Aize is not a king after all, and he can directly mobilize fewer resources, which is somewhat good news. But it must be remembered that he is still dangerous. I advise you not to be impulsive and just keep this in mind. Any obsession you have will become a weakness. β
Mei Yi said: "Okay, Queen Mother, I listen to you." β
Queen Mother Elsa looked at Mei Yi for a long time and said, "Alas, if you were so obedient back then, you wouldn't have to leave the elven kingdom." If Agiro had an assistant like you, the king and I would be truly at ease. β
Mei Yi smiled: "We still take care of each other now. Now that you're here, let's take a good look. Although it is only a frontier land, it also has its wonderful and beautiful. By the way, Zejin, I have time to take the royal couple to get vaccinated with the several vaccines developed by Melovia. β
"Vaccines?" The King and Queen's eyes widened, "What's that?" β
"Mei Luowei now has a vaccine against smallpox and tuberculosis," seeing the confused expressions on the faces of King Ai Qi and the Queen Mother, Ze Jin changed his words, "It is a vaccine to prevent pox and coughing up blood, and after vaccination, you will not get these two diseases again." β
"Is this true?" The two of them looked incredulous. They had all experienced the smallpox outbreak in the kingdom and were well aware of the effects of smallpox. As for tuberculosis, many of their relatives have died of the disease, and there is no cure.
Now, if you are injected with something called a vaccine, you won't get it again?
The queen looked at Mei Yi in surprise: "This is also something you brought from your previous life?" β
Mei Yi said: "Hmm. β
"Was the world you were in so powerful before?"
Mei Yi said: "This is the medical method of the 'dawn age' of human beings, which is actually very backward. But with the conditions of this world now, they are already top-level existences, and thanks to the healers and pharmacists of the Fairy Forest sent by their mother-in-law, I didn't expect them to cooperate so much. β
Ze Jin smiled: "No matter how arrogant the goblin doctor is, he has to put away his temper after seeing the efficacy of our laboratory, pharmaceutical factory, and the drugs developed. Seeing that it can be mass-produced, the country's finances in the future are finally not worried. β
Mei Yi couldn't help but laugh: "Well, I'm going to sell them to the Elf Kingdom and the Subhuman Kingdom and make a lot of money." I've almost lost my life a few times for them, and it's time to make some money. β
Queen Mother Elsa saw Mei Yi's unproductive appearance, and said, "If that's true, it's worth it." My mom was in her twenties and left me and Alicia because of hemoptysis. I don't want others to experience this kind of thing again. Wait, Treasury? Is Megave's finances in trouble? β
Mei Yi said: "There is no big problem, but because of the large-scale construction some time ago, it is not so rich." The subhuman kingdom is too far away to carry out large-scale trade, and some of the territory markets of the elven kingdom are not so open, and the entry of our goods is not so smooth. It's going to get better. β
Queen Mother Elsa smiled: "Those things are left to you and Ai Qilu to have a headache, this time, Ai Qi and I came here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, eat, drink and have fun." By the way, Meiyi, I read the letter you wrote to Agilu, and there is a letter that says that the elven kingdom may encounter a famine? β
Mei Yi said: "It's just that it's possible." The reports written by the students of the True Spirit Academy are solid and very credible. I felt compelled to let Agiro know about it. In case of famine, be prepared. β
Queen Elsa said, "I don't know if those lords and nobles will be able to listen to Agilu's words. Frankly, not to mention them, even I think it's a little too incredible. β
